Q. What are the differences between Avid Artist | DNxIQ and the similar-looking Blackmagic Ultrastudioproduct?A. Avid has the exclusive ability to offer the following:

Universal Mastering for the Media Composer | Symphony Option: Get powerful format and framerate conversion for output and digital cut without transcoding. Universal Mastering is enabled by the Symphony Option, which must be purchased separately.

Real-time DNxHR hardware encoding: Avid | Artist DNxIQ has a built in hardware encoder that now enables users to encode UHD and 4K media to DNxHR LB (Low Bandwidth) in real time during base band capture.

Audio punch-in: With a front-panel microphone input jack, it’s quick and easy to record audio on-the-fly.

Includes the Avid Connect Plug In for Blackmagic Design's Fusion: Work with the world’s most advanced visual effects and motion graphics animation software directly in your Media Composer timeline.

Sold and Supported by Avid: Backed by Avid’s world class Customer Care organization.
